Adding eggs to your diet can help you get various nutrients, proteins, and Folate.

One whole egg contains 22 micrograms of Folate or about 6% of the daily requirement.

Eating eggs regularly or adding a few portions of egg to the weekly diet is a simple approach to increase your folate consumption and satisfy your requirements. Protein, riboflavin, selenium, and vitamin B12 are all abundant in eggs.

They’re also strong in zeaxanthin and lutein, powerful antioxidants which may help lessen the risk of macular degeneration and other eye diseases.

While eggs are considered a healthy food, yolks are high in cholesterol. If you have heart disease, or you are trying to lower your cholesterol intake, you may want to reduce your weekly egg consumption.
